Vassiliki windsurfing

Vassiliki is known world-wide for it's wind effect. Lefkas - a mountainous island,
has a high western coastline. When the Ionian's summer west/north-westerly wind
blows on to the island, it rises up the western slopes. The air reaches the top
and cools accelerating down into Vassiliki bay.

For the conditions in Vassiliki to be perfect cross-shore, the prevailing wind onto
the island generally only needs to be light. By the time it flows into the bay,
it has built to give a strong warm wind, ideal for blasting.

Mornings - the wind in the morning is ideal for beginners. The breeze is very light,
and blows on-shore with flat calm water. So you can practice sailing back and forth
across the wind, up-wind & down-wind, and the conditions make it easy for you to
get back to the beach.

There is plenty of time before lunch and before Eric starts to blow, to take lessons
and practice your light wind techniques.

Afternoons - around early lunch time, the wind veers to cross-shore, and builds
to give some of the best windsurfing conditions you could possibly want.

To windward and level with Cosmos Hotel, the water remains flat - ideal for blasting,
and pulling off your advanced flat water manoeuvres.

Further downwind, the water gets more challenging, providing plenty of opportunity
for big air and tricks.

Cosmos has an excellent array of beginner equipment, with wide, stable boards and
easy to handle rigs. Intermediates are also well catered for and experts are in
heaven when they visit us. We have an excellent range of up-to-the date boards and
sails from renowned brands such as Starboard, RRD, Fanatic, North & Tushingham.

You have the perfect opportunity make comparisons and find the right combination
of board & rig for you.

Kit is racked on the beach, so this provides for a truly hassle free process of
choosing your board, choosing your sail and launching. From the shoreline there
is a gently sloping sand bar, so as soon as you step in, you can choose your starting
depth with plenty of space around you.
